Hey guys i have an issue with my mustang this issue happened out of no where when i tried starting up my car like every other day, the engine is tapping but not knocking i had a mechanic look it at it and says its not a rod or a lifter, he said its most likely the oil pump but he has yet to open the engine up, i was wondering if this could be it , i highly doubt its anything MASSIVE. Does anyone know if theres additive that could fix the noise to maybe clean up the oil pumps or just fix the problem overall?
Things ive noticed to help
Things ive noticed to help
- Ticks / Knocks when i start it up the first time
- Leaving it idling takes about 1-5 mins for the sound to complelty go away
- after the sounds goes away id say it takes an hour or 2 hours to do it again but heres where it gets intresting instead of the noise lasting per say 1-5 minutes it last tops 10-30 seconds then goes away
- oil came out fine and no metal specs on the dip stick
- it sometimes also goes away instantly after getting out of a parking lot tick lasts about 2-5 seconds then goes away instantly not even a distant ticking of the engine is heard so the sounds isnt staying it actually goes away
